...late 1940s, J.P.L. set a team to work looking for a solid fuel that would be used in long-range rockets. Requirements were that the fuel burn evenly, resist cracking under pressure, and be capable of insulating the thin shell of the rocket from the heat of its own combustion. They hit upon a polysulfide-a rubbery, sticky liquid that could be poured, solidified, then burned at a controllable rate. It worked, and is now the basis for the Navy's Polaris and all other solid-fuel U.S. rockets. The small company that made it, Thiokol, has become...
Million-Mile Radio. Since rocket test shots are almost useless unless the rocket sends information about its performance, J.P.L. was forced to explore the electronic labyrinth of telemetering. One electronic job led to another, and now J.P.L. products ride in nearly all U.S. satellites, reporting the magnetism, heat and cosmic rays encountered in the unknown reaches of space. Such information has grown so voluminous that J.P.L. has its own computer to interpret it. For tracking space vehicles far out in the solar system, J.P.L. has built a radio telescope 85 ft. in diameter in the Mojave Desert, which can track...

In Washington, the Federal Housing Administration prepared to raise the home mortgage rate from 5½% to 5¾%. a step expected to drain off financing for G.I. home loans, still legally limited...
